Regardless of your opinion of BASC, they are a high-profile organisation and have a large (and diverse, believe it or not) membership. They work closely with the government and police when it comes to setting and enforcing shooting standards. For that reason alone, I personally think it's best to pay attention to their guidelines.

I have no opinions of the BASC, all I was trying to say is they aren't the law but representatives of their members.

Regarding game birds, they specifically state:

Quote:

although there are seasons when you can legally shoot game, and some wildfowl, they are not suitable quarry for air rifles

That to me doesn't say it's illegal to shoot pheasant with an air rifle,
It says they are not suitable quarry.
I would argue that because they are easier to approach than all the quarry they say you can shoot then they are suitable.
